Which one of the following statements is wrong in case of Bhopal tragedy?The Bhopal gas tragedy took place on the night of 2–3 December 1984 at the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal.
About 40 tonnes of the highly toxic gas methyl isocyanate (MIC) leaked from a storage tank.
Thousands of people died and many more suffered lasting damage to their lungs and eyes.
It was a chemical (industrial gas leak) disaster; no radioactive material was involved, so there was no radioactive fall out.
Hence the wrong statement is that radioactive fall out engulfed Bhopal.
